Martin,

There is an Amel 54 at my marina in St Martin.

Please write me in about May 1 or 2 and I will have an answer to your
question about rigging your Amel.

Did you look at the drogue on ACE sailmakers website. If you have any
questions please speak with Dave and mention my name.

Hi Eric,

may name is Martin and I am the owner of Amel 54 #149 "CHIARA". Full of
respect
I have read your article in Ocean Navigator. Amazing and congratulations on
your
excellent semanship! I wouldn`t have a chance in such a situation, so what I

have to do is learn from people like you.

Yet I have not fully understood how you rigged the drogue ( e.g. which
reinforced attaching points) and especially how you manage to pull it in
again
(e.g.how do you guide it at the stern, when you have it on the winch). I
really
would appreciate if you could describe it for me a little more in detail.
May
be there is a difference between a SM 200 and a 54 as well.

Thank you in advance.

Martin
